After it has been enjoyed on Southend pier the display will move to Plymouth in July

Comprising 888,246 individual ceramic poppies the tribute brought an estimated five million visitors between July and November 2014.

And now six venues across the country have been chosen to host displays of the poppies.

They will be shown in two different formats.

Weeping Window is a cascade comprising several thousand ceramic poppies pouring from a high window to the ground below, while Wave is a sweeping arch of bright red poppy heads suspended on towering stalks.

Work is currently under way installing Wave at Barge Pier in Southend-on-Sea, Essex before it goes to the CQGC Plymouth Naval memorial in July.

Its director Jenny Waldman said: “The poppies have captivated millions of people across the UK, and we are delighted to present them in more locations in 2017, including taking them to Northern Ireland for the first time.

“Paul Cummins and Tom Piper have created two enormously powerful artworks of national significance that continue to inspire all who see them.”
